THE BIG SHOOTOUT

Directed by Mike Looney

Director Mike Looney, Edith Royal and members of the original 1969 UT football team will be in attendance including: Tom Campbell. Moderated by Ed Clements of KLBJ.

On December 6, 1969 the Texas Longhorns and Arkansas Razorbacks, both undefeated and ranked one and two respectively met in a football game that, for once, lived up to its nationwide hype. It was a key contest in the rivalry and a turning point in the popularity of televised sports. Mike Looney’s new documentary examines the game through the eyes of those who were there.
